Latham St. Shows will be at 10 a.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays. There will be no performance on the Fourth of July. This show, told with hand and rod puppets, tells the classic tale of a little girl who unexpectedly encounters three bears. It is recommended for anyone ages 3 and up.

Enjoy a trip to prehistoric times with the “My Pet Dinosaur” show July 14-25. The shows are at 10 a.m. Wednesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays.
